Comments on: Sarkozy takes Obama to school http://mccrarey.com/2009/09/29/sarkozy-takes-obama-to-school/ Wed, 23 May 2012 17:41:59 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.4 by: Dentoku http://mccrarey.com/2009/09/29/sarkozy-takes-obama-to-school/#comment-348292 Wed, 30 Sep 2009 14:47:47 +0000 http://mccrarey.com/2009/09/29/sarkozy-takes-obama-to-school/#comment-348292 The only reason France hasn't joined any policing or coalition effort for the past 3 or 4 decades is that they are French, period, end of story. All members of NATO, plus France know that if they drag their feet long enough they can have it both ways - get the security and needed police action and have someone else pay for it. The US can be relied on to spend their treasures to solve the worlds problems and keep despot's in check, just as they have ever since. Moreover, those same treasures in blood and money will be spent to help the chicken-shits when they get into a sticky mess as well, and this of course would and has included France, not that they appreciate it. France deserves recognition for being cheese nibblers and wine swillers and for allowing idiot wannabe terrorists to run the Tour De France anti-doping mafia. Not much else. France actually has more than 240 separate certified varieties of cheese - more than the number of non-openly gay people serving in their armed forces, and California wine is ever bit as good as theirs. So where does that leave them? With a Tour de France mafia, seems. The best thing about Sarkozy is that he doesn't have French blood, seems certain. And he apparently has the gonads to prove it. Just good to see some other people waking up to who this Mr O really is. -------------------------------- I have come to admire you, John, but I honestly do not know how you cope.

The best thing about Sarkozy is that he doesn’t have French blood, seems certain. And he apparently has the gonads to prove it. Just good to see some other people waking up to who this Mr O really is.

We apparently had the evidence. France said that it might not be such a good idea. Obama said the same thing. I think we are still looking for those WMD's. And I think we are still looking for a way out of there. Misson Accomplished, err., umm nevermind. But I think France deserves a break for not rushing into an ill-advised war with Iraq. Really, I was just making the point that I find it interesting how all of the sudden what Sarkozy says is relevant. Fox News Channel's Bill O'Reilly actually imposed an embargo (this would be really funny if it weren’t true) on France a few years ago because they apparently didn't support our war on terror. Now that channel is using Sarkozy’s words to further their attack on the president. Iran and North Korea have been a problem for a long time. This issue didn't just crop up when Obama took over. We'll see how it shakes out but short of starting a war on another front with troops and money we don't have, I think using strong language and rallying international support isn't a bad play.

The issue isn't about who is president, and you know that, right? France did not support the USA when it was necessary to take out an evil dictator. That was bad in my view, and I severely criticized France for being so weak kneed in the face of an international threat. Now, the situation is almost completely reversed. We have The One going soft on Iran and we have a French leader calling him out on it. Sarkozy recognizes that the threat of a nuclear Iran must be met with action, not platitudes. So, I am being completely consistent in my criticism. The point of my post was just that I find it odd to be criticizing the USA and agreeing with the French. Strange times indeed.
